Great roads, scenery, fresh seafood and no traffic to speak of - what's not to like?" - BMW Owners News
"If you're a regular reader of Roadbike, no doubt you've seen plenty of books from our friends at Whitehorse Press, whose renowned Motorcycle Journeys series has been chronicled in these pages ad nauseum for one simple reason; they're so darned good. Always insightful and easy to read, the series is written by riders, for riders. . . .If you want to ride past Maine, be sure and get your hands on Motorcycle Journeys Through Canada. . . .more than a ride through Nova Scotia, Gillis and Aiken cover Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Labrador, New Brunswick, and eastern Quebec with the authority of riders who have ridden the roads." - RoadBikeMag.com
"(My) familiarity with the areas covered in the book lets me take a little closer look at what authors Rannie Gillis and Ken Aiken have to say. First of all, there's no question they've done their homework. The book includes most of the area's most interesting riding roads. Nova Scotia's route through Advocate/Parrsboro/Economy, New Brunswick's Hillsborough/CapeEnrage/St.Martins route and P.E.I.'s CapEgmont/Miminegash/NorthCape route are all examples of great motorcycling destinations you'd never hear about otherwise, except from locals. In fact, the closer I looked at this book, the more I recognized my favourite riding spots. . . . That provided some powerful motivation to try out the routes in the book I didn't already know. . . . Overall, this is a book I would rely on 100 percent for planning a trip. It's a worthy investment if you plan on riding through Atlantic Canada as a tourist, or even if you live in the area." - Zac Kurylyk, Editor, CanadaMotoGuide.com

The road to ruin begins with this book...

Thanks to this book, I have spent several weeks motorcycling in New Brunswick, on the Gaspe Peninsula, and exploring the North Shore of the lower St. Lawrence. Ignoring my family. Letting my work slide. Not calling my mother. This book has led me down some incredibly beautiful roads not that far from my home in Massachusetts. I'll never be the same again. I blame the authors for my dangerous, irresponsible new attitude. Shame!
